What would the Buddha say to an alcoholic or addict? What could those in
recovery offer to the Buddhist path? Kevin Griffin has immersed himself
in the Buddhist and Twelve Step traditions, and in One Breath at a Time he gives some surprising and inspiring answers to these questions.The
author, a Buddhist meditation teacher and longtime Twelve Step
practitioner, weaves his personal story of recovery with traditional
Buddhist teachings. The book takes us on a journey through the Steps,
examining critical Twelve Step ideas like Powerlessness, Higher Power,
and Moral Inventory through the lens of Buddhism. One Breath at a Time
presents potent ancient techniques for finding calm and clarity and
offers a vision of a Higher Power not tied to traditional Western
Judeo-Christian concepts. One Breath at a Time, describes the
convergence of two vital traditions, one ancient, the other
contemporary, and shows how they are working together to create a rich
spiritual path for our times.
